A survey carried out by Preply , a language platform, found that during the months of January to September 2022 in Brazil , there were more than 11 million searches on Google Trends related to language courses . The company created a ranking disclosing the most sought after by Brazilians and of the 24 languages analyzed, Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) was in one of the top positions !
With globalization, the advancement of technology and the growth of social networks, the search for learning more and more languages to expand the network of contacts and even stand out in the job market is increasing. But many people have already realized that they don't need to leave the country to use another language and break their bubble. Learning Brazilian Sign Language is becoming a priority, as Preply's ranking showed.
English is the most sought after language by Brother cell phone list people in Brazil, totaling 1.2 million searches in 2022 alone. However, the most surprising point was the search for Libras, which came in second place, with 98 thousand searches in the same period . It had 110% more search volume for courses than Spanish , which came in third place in the ranking with 46.6 thousand. Could it be that with this performance we can say that Brazilian Sign Language could become one of the most spoken languages in Brazil ? We hope so and soon you will understand why.
What are the most spoken languages in Brazil today?
You probably already know that Portuguese is the only official language in Brazil, but what you may not yet know is that in addition to it, we also have other minority languages spoken throughout the territory . Let's explain!
Our country has a vast cultural diversity and this has a direct influence on the way people communicate within their social cycle. The 2010 IBGE Census revealed that there are more than 305 indigenous ethnicities, who speak at least 274 different languages. There are also immigrant communities that use some dialects from German and Italian, mainly concentrated in the southern region of the country.
The Brazilian Linguistic Diversity Group (GTDL) , estimates that there are more than 210 languages in total, 180 of which are indigenous, 30 of European origin, apart from the regionalisms of Portuguese itself.
Furthermore, we still have Libras , which is the language of the majority of deaf people in Brazil and which carries with it a lot of history of struggle and perseverance of the deaf community so that it could exist!
Brazilian Sign Language (Libras)
It is not just “spoken languages” that have their space. We also have Libras, a sign language , mainly used by deaf and hearing impaired people, which, according to the latest research carried out by IBGE, is more than 2.3 million people in total . Of these, a large proportion have difficulty with Portuguese , mainly due to the lack of access to education.
